Page 44 - The entire length, from the point of the nose to the end of the tail, is seven feet ten inches ; and the height three feet six inches.
Page 34 - The same idea has since occurred to the other. We therefore beg leave to send in a joint communication to the Royal Society on the subject, showing the manner in which this kind of observation can be carried out, remarking that, although the method still requires some instrumental details, which will make its working more perfect, images of the chromosphere, almost in its entirety, have already been seen on several days during the present month and the latter part of last month. The adaptation of...
Page 23 - In the year 1860, he published his memoir on the relation between the emissive and absorptive powers of bodies for heat, as well as for light, in which occurs the celebrated sentence : " The relation between the power of emission and the power of absorption of one and the same class of rays, is the same for all bodies at the same temperature...
Page 31 - EiigJish swine are almost entirely, if not absolutely, free from this so-called disease ; and not a single case of Trichiniasis in the living human subject has been diagnosed in the United Kingdom. Some twenty or thirty cases have been discovered post mortem; and it is highly probable that most, if not all, of these individuals had contracted the disease, during life, by eating German pork sausages or other preparations of foreign meat.
Page 68 - On the Upper Formations of the New Red Sandstone System in Gloucestershire, Worcestershire, and Warwickshire ; showing that the Red or Saliferous Marls, including a peculiar Zone of Sandstone, represent the
Page 31 - The wood-dove, when perched amongst the branches of its favourite fir, is scarcely discernible; whereas, were it among some lighter foliage, the blue and purple tints in its plumage would far sooner betray it. The robin redbreast too, although it might be thought that the red on its breast made it much easier to be seen, is in reality not at all endangered by it, since it generally contrives to get among some russet or yellow fading leaves, where the red matches very well with the autumn tints, and...
Page 20 - Rhine ; where, in a large meadow, every autumn, the storks assemble, to hold (as the country people call it) a council, just before their annual migration. On one of these occasions about fifty were observed, formed in a ring round one individual, whose appearance bespoke great alarm. One of the party then seemed to address the conclave, by chipping its wings for about five minutes.
Page 44 - ... the transverse segments of the body eleven, with tubercular projections at the points of intersection; the rays of the dorsal fin about sixteen : the anal fin is peculiar to the female only, and probably performs some office at the time of the transfer of the ova to the pouch of the male; this anal fin contains four rays : the abdomen as deep again as the tail; from the vent the form of the tail is quadrangular, ending in a point: the number of segments about thirty. The general colour is a pale...
Page 35 - By this method the image of the chromosphere received on the photographic plate can be obtained of a convenient size, as a telescope of any dimensions may be used for focusing the parallel beam which passes through the prisms on to the plate. The size of the image of the chromosphere obtained by the method adopted will be seen from the accompanying photograph, taken when the ring-slit was illuminated with the vapours of copper and cadmium.
Page 34 - The observations made by slitless spectroscopes during the eclipse of Dec. 11, 1871, led one of us early this year to the conclusion that the most convenient and labour-saving contrivance for the daily observation of the chromosphere would be to photograph daily the image of a ring-slit, which should be coincident with an image of the chromosphere itself. The same idea has since occurred to the other. We therefore beg leave to send in a joint communication to the Royal Society on the subject, showing...
